This is a central theme for us, as many of the proposals being worked on with the RxC global community (e.g Plural Voting, Plural Funding, and Data Dignity) require some form of participant authentication to be put into practice. As such, recently the DeSoc paper advanced powerful new concepts and served to ignite important conversations around this theme within the blockchain space. Moreover, many other communities, such as the Internet Identity Workshop, W3C working groups and others, have worked on related challenges and fostered many of the innovations that are being used on the current web with tooling developed and ready for Web3 too. With this gathering, our aim is to facilitate a space for knowledge exchange, risk mitigation, and cross-collaboration across an extensive plurality of actors.

There won’t be speakers, keynotes, or panels. At the beginning of each day of the event, all of the attendees will gather and co-create the agenda with participant-led sessions, discussions and workshops. This Open Space UnConference format is social technology meant to support in-depth dialogue and rich interactions, allowing for a full exploration of the topic!

Everyone exploring these topics is proactively welcome, no matter what their level of experience or expertise is. Please join the event if you are interested in any of the following topics:

• DeSoc & Soulbound Tokens
• Privacy Enhancing Technologies
• Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials
• Data Governance and Public Policy Issues
• Regenerative Economy & Community Currencies
• Web3 being applied to Governments and Governance
• Blockchain for Good Applications
• Proof of Personhood / Sybil Resistance / Anti-bots Techniques
• Decentralized Identity Developments
• Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
• Self-Sovereign Identity
• Privacy Implications with AR and VR
• And more! Please don’t limit yourself to these suggestions, and bring in your full creativity to co-create this gathering with us!

Each day will run for a total of 5 hours. We’ll start with an Opening Circle and Agenda Creation session, then have 3 hours of participant-led sessions and a Closing Circle. We will also have session notes and be compiling a Book of Proceedings.
